liberty?
a.
the king
c.

• Liberty consists of the power to do whatever
is not injurious to others; thus the enjoyment
of the natural rights of every man has for its
limits only those that assure other members
of society the enjoyment of those same rights;
such limits may be determined only by law.
• Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the
Citizen, French National Assembly, 1789
How, according to the passage, is law an expression of the general will?

The king, as the people’s leader, defines the law.
b.
The nobles ensure that the law meets the needs of all people.
c.
Old laws are changed to meet new needs.
d.
All citizens are able to influence the law’s creation.
• Law is the expression of the general will; all citizens
have the right to concur personally, or through their
representatives, in its formation; it must be the same
for all, whether it protects or punishes. All citizens,
being equal before it, are equally admissible to all
public offices, positions, and employments, according
to their capacity, and without other distinction than
that of virtues and talents.
• Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen,
French National Assembly, 1789
According to the passage, what is one of the most precious rights?
a.
freedom of movement
c.
freedom of worship
b.
freedom from taxation
d.
freedom of speech
• Free communication of ideas and opinions is
one of the most precious of the rights of man.
Consequently, every citizen may speak, write,
and print freely, subject to responsibility for
the abuse of such liberty in the cases
determined by law.
• Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the
Citizen, French National Assembly, 1789
According to Robespierre, what is necessary to ensure liberty
exists?
a.
magistrates c.
citizens
b.
justice
d.
the republic
• My people, remember that if in the republic justice
does not reign with absolute sway, and if this word
does not signify love of equality and of country, then
liberty is but a vain phrase! O people, you who are
feared—whom one flatters! you who are despised; you
who are acknowledged sovereign, and are ever being
treated as a slave—remember that wherever justice
does not reign, it is the passions of the magistrates that
reign instead, and that the people have changed their
chains and not their destinies!”
• Maximilien Robespierre, 1794

not to be as pleasant a

of the South Atlantic,
thousands of
kilometers from any
major land-mass,
escape was now
virtually impossible. It
was here that
Napoleon was to die in
1821
